About credentials

These courses teach safety knowledge at an awareness level and award certificates of completion. They do not replace the training your employer must provide for your specific workplace, equipment and hazards, and they are not certifications. Several kinds of training must be delivered by approved providers or include hands-on evaluation: for example, first aid and CPR certification (by agencies approved in your province), Ontario's Working at Heights training (by providers approved by the Chief Prevention Officer), workplace-specific WHMIS education, lift truck and aerial platform operator training, and asbestos work training where provincial rules require it. Always follow the law in your province or territory and your employer's procedures. HSM University is not affiliated with any regulator or certifying body.
